    • Bo Ma Inonge, the President of Zambia rocks this year. I will not be surprised if she has Nalumango in her entourage.
      Visiting-president Edgar is relaxing under a mango tree drinking the price-reduced Rhino lager, catching up with our LT comments.

  1. 60th independence day for Ghana and 52nd for Zambia yet these both lazy nations are put to big shame by Singapore.

    • Singapore is just one town state. It is easy to Develop. Imagine if we were all lived in Lusaka, then the trillions of dollars spent all over the country would be just used in one city.

  2. Lungs is corrupt. HH has not mislead anyone. Why is Dora Siliya not under investigation? Her partner in crime George Chaponda ( former Malawi minister of agriculture)has been fired after the anti corruption commission of Malawi found millions of Kwacha and other currencies hidden in his bed room.

  3. Our misleaders are elected to be career politicians ,to look good and feel important even when they bring nothing to the table.

    Simply no excuse why some younger nations than Zambia are miles ahead yet they have no mineral wealth or our population size.As Enka above puts it ,Singapore and Zambia are age mates but look at them and then feel ashamed to look at Zed.

  4. Vice President Wina was met by her Ghananian counterpart…which is protocol. Yet HE ECL was met by HONORARY consul after he was invited by the Israeli HEAD OF STATE for a STATE visit… seem disrespectful to our PRESIDENT.

  5. Be positive, some of you fo0ls never learn. And it is because of such attitudes that you will remain failures. Continue insulting and let’s see where it will take you. I am UPND myself and I get embarrassed by a few fo0ls who continue embarrassing our party by always writing rotten things. So backward and primitive
